The bet that Norris wanted was completely different from what Shen Sixi wanted.
It was as if the magnanimity was revealed at this moment.
But Shen Shenxi didn't show any guilt or embarrassment at all.
She walked in front as a matter of course, looking at Norris with a smile.
It's like looking at her "possessions" in advance.
Norris's face gradually turned ugly.
Shen Tumo's expression wasn't very good either.
In the presence of everyone, the match between Meditation Creek and Norris was held in a dedicated mixing room at Clark's home.
This is the area that Clark focused most on when renovating the house.
The room chosen was the one with the best location and orientation, and the area was larger than several bedrooms combined.
Various sophisticated and expensive fragrance equipment, some of which are not even available in university laboratories.
An entire wall is home to valuable and rare spices, which Clark proudly introduces to Meditation Creek.
Yu Chaodi lamented that many of the spices she overheard the teachers at the college talking about while cleaning had finally turned from textbook pictures into tangible reality that is close to her eyes.
Shen Turong also widened his eyes.
Although her family is so wealthy, her hobby funds are limited, and there are only some ordinary spices in the fragrance room.
"Brother, you see that Sister Xi and I both love perfume. Can you buy us some of these too?"
Shen Turong took the opportunity to act coquettishly.
Shentu remained indifferent.
Shen Shenxi concentrated on admiring Clark's collection, with a serious and beautiful profile.
“That one is very well preserved.”
"So there is this. I didn't see it at home last time. It's a pity."
Shen Shenxi had to admit that although the Shentu family also had a dedicated fragrance room, it was far inferior to Clark's.
Shen Tumo withdrew his gaze and pulled his sister aside.
"what did you just say?"
"...I want to buy some expensive spices to take home."
"purchase."
Shen Turong immediately jumped for joy, "Brother, that's great! I know you dote on me and Sister Xi the most!"
"It has nothing to do with you." Shentumo said coldly, "It's just that we can't let the Shentu family be compared with others."
"Yes, yes, yes." Shen Turong nodded perfunctorily, turned around and called Yu Chaodi, and together they studied the prices and storage requirements of various spices.
Here, Norris has already stood in front of the instrument.
He waited quietly for her visit, showing a proud look on his face.
How could the teacher's experience and accumulation over so many years be matched by a fledgling girl like Shen Shenxi.
She needs to experience setbacks.
"If you're ready, let's get started."
Norris looked forward calmly, resting his palms on the table.
The colorful glass instruments reflected his slender fingers with distinct joints.
Many people have said that his hands were specially made for mixing perfume.
The thin finger bones are as clear as bamboo, the nails are clean and moist and carefully trimmed, and the palms are broad.
Norris fiddled with the fragrance instruments with ease, as if he had entered another world that he had complete control over.
He is usually low-key and reserved, but at this moment his aura is in full swing and his light is blooming.
Cautious and sharp eyes were firmly fixed on the vessel in front of him.
The competition between Norris and Shen Sixi requires distillation, pressing and solvent extraction at the same time.
They are required to multi-task and pursue ultimate efficiency.
Finally, see who can extract higher purity from natural spices in the shortest time.
Norris is very confident about this.
Whether he is competing with his classmates or studying with his teacher, he is always the fastest and most pure at that time.
When the timer clicked, he got into it without any distractions.
He didn't even look aside.
The fragrance room was very quiet, and everyone consciously refrained from making any noise so as not to disturb them.
Norris was fully focused, even his hair was full of seriousness.
He valued this competition too much, so he worked hard and held his breath, not daring to exhale.
The movements on the hands are flying, all at the same time and in an orderly manner.
Time passed little by little, when the last glass instrument in front of me condensed water vapor, and drops of pure natural essential oil fell into the bottle.
"finished."
Norris let go and breathed a sigh of relief.
He believed that this time was more perfect than all the previous exercises.
But when he turned his head to look at Shen Shenxi, he was stunned.
She didn't know when she had finished it, and she was leaning against the wall with her mobile phone... playing Landlord.
Norris was stunned and saw several bottles of essential oils neatly placed on the side of the perfume mixing station in Shensi Creek.
Clark gave Norris a sympathetic look and told him.
"You were so serious that you probably didn't notice that Miss Shen finished it an hour earlier than you."
"This is impossible." Norris's eyes widened. He had tried to streamline the steps as much as possible, and it was difficult to optimize and improve efficiency.
Clark shrugged, although he didn't know how Silent Creek did it.
But indeed, she is just that much faster.
The advantages that Norris was once proud of, including his steady hand, rigorousness, and precise control of temperature and time, were all crushed by Shensi Creek.
Clark shook his head and took the two people's essential oils to test.
Needless to say the results.
The purity of the essential oil extracted from Meditation Creek is also far superior to that of Norris.
…
Norris looked at all this in disbelief.
His back bent with pride.
"I lost..." He lowered his head. It took him a long time to find his voice, and shouted hoarsely, "Master."
But Shen Shenxi raised her hand, "Don't be impatient yet, I regretted it, and the previous bet does not count."
She stepped forward and took out the coin from Norris' pocket.
"I only need one coin from you."
Shen Si Feng smiled lightly, like a spring breeze ruffling the surface of the lake.
Norris looked at her blankly, as if his soul was lost in her laughter.
"Ahem." Clark suddenly patted Norris on the shoulder, "Follow me to the tea room."
"..." Norris followed Clark in despair.
When they arrived at the teahouse, they were the only two people.
Clark said in a deep voice again: "Norris, you are too impulsive today. I said that even I can't compare to Miss Shen's accomplishments in perfumery..."
"Teacher, don't belittle yourself." Norris was convinced even though he lost to Shen Shenxi.
But in his heart, Clark will always be his piece of the world of perfumery.
"Norris, there is something that the teacher should tell you."
Clark's face was heavy, and he sighed, his voice low.
"I...I lost my sense of smell."
Norris was in disbelief and thought he heard wrongly.
The teacher who always said that "the perfumer's nose is everything to him" actually lost something so precious.
"So, Norris, I will rely on you to pass on my perfumery business from now on."
Clark entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.
Norris shook his head, "Teacher, I still have a lot to learn from you. How can you unload your burden now? Don't worry, you will definitely be able to cure it."
"It's useless." Clark smiled, "Our family is so powerful, and I have so much money, but it's useless. I've searched all the famous doctors, and this nose is a complete death sentence."
Norris' eyes were red, and he would rather lose his sense of smell.
No wonder, the teacher's hair has turned gray so quickly recently.
Suddenly, Norris remembered something.
"Teacher, let's ask Miss Shen. I heard that the Chinese medicine doctors there are very famous. Maybe they can cure you!"
